bluetick

Speckled hunting dog

A bluetick is a breed of coonhound with a distinctive mottled blue-black coat pattern created by dark ticking on a white base.

The dogs are known for their loud, baying bark and keen sense of smell, traditionally used for hunting raccoons and other game in the American South: The bluetick treed a possum before midnight.
